"I do 'dat!"

The kids and I were invited to diner at a dear friend's house since Daddy is away at drill. The boy found these puzzles that belong to her grandkids and insisted on putting them together. The first 2 he did were 24 and 32 pieces, respectively. This one was 100 pieces. I told him I didn't know if he'd be able to put it all together. Wouldn't you know it, he had it done in about 25 minutes. He had me come look and when I told him he'd done a good job and that I was proud of him, he said "I know. I do 'dat!"

Look what I did!

My hubby is gone for the weekend for his Army drill, so I had to find a way to occupy my time....So I built all the baby stuff. I put together the play pen, high chair, swing, and stroller. Building stuff is usually Daddy's job, so I was quite proud of myself. The boy "helped." We had a fun time building and seeing things put together. Then, the boy and I went on a date, swimming and dinner at Mickey D's. =)

I made dat....myself!

The boy says that a lot. "I made dat....myself." Usually it is followed by "come here, I show you." Well...I made the curtains, bumper, and crib skirt...myself. If you know me well you know that this is quite the accomplishment. We decided to get the baby's room ready today come heck or high water. I finished sewing the bumper after 11pm. But, everything is ready in the baby's room, except the dresser which has not come in to the store yet, but it is on it's way! I really liked the bedding and valance, so we bought those, but I could not find curtains or a bumper/crib skirt that I liked, so I bought material and made them. I LOVE how they turned out.
